Celebrating Culture, Connection & 50 Years of NAIDOC

NAIDOC Week is one of the most important times of the year for Winyama Contracting Group, and in 2026 we were proud to once again bring our team, clients, families, friends and community together for our annual NAIDOC celebration.

This year held even greater significance as we celebrated 50 years of NAIDOC under the theme “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy.”

As a proudly Aboriginal-owned business, the theme strongly reflects the values behind Winyama — honouring those who have paved the way, creating opportunities today and building something meaningful for the generations that follow.

Our Friday night celebration was an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, share great food and conversations, celebrate culture and strengthen the relationships that mean so much to our business.

We were honoured to have Jordan deliver the Welcome to Country, setting the tone for a meaningful evening of connection and celebration.

NAIDOC Week extended beyond our own event, with members of the Winyama team also participating in celebrations throughout the region, including the Waramulgu Markets at the Ngurin Centre in Iremugadu (Roebourne).

 

Celebrating Through the Next Generation

This year’s celebrations were made even more special through our 2026 Winyama NAIDOC shirts.

The artwork was designed by Ava Ramirez, daughter of Winyama Director Arthur Ramirez, bringing a personal connection and another generation of the Winyama family into our NAIDOC celebrations.

Seeing our crew proudly wearing Ava’s design throughout the year is something we are incredibly proud of.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, supported the event and helped make our 2026 NAIDOC celebrations so memorable.

For Winyama, NAIDOC is about more than one week on the calendar. It is about culture, connection, community and continuing to build a legacy for the next generation.
